[nagdu] Labrador noises

[Abigail Bolling]

I feel the need to also point that just because the dogs are young does not mean they may not be in joint pain. 
My girl was diagnosed with ip displasia when she was 2 and a half years old. 


She is on a pill called condroiten (I don’t think I spelled that correctly)
You can buy it over the counter for about $15. If you get it from the vet, it runs between $50 or $60. 
But it is a once daily pill that my Jada will take right out of my hand!

Peace out!
